Don't throw your eco-friendly habits out the window just because you're hitting the road:

   • Turn off the lights, TV and air conditioner when you leave your hotel room.

   • Let the housekeeping staff know it's not necessary to change your sheets and towels every day.

   • Reduce plastic bottle waste by packing reusable water bottles for the whole family (Dorfman recommends FilterForGood bottles).

   • Take public transportation, rent bikes or walk—it's eco-friendly and the best way to see the sights.

   • Opt for locally grown food; not only will it reduce the distance your meals have to travel to reach your mouth, it will also help you more fully experience the local culture.
